Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, author of the only goal of the first period, offered his team three precious points to his team and enabled a second consecutive victory to as many meetings at the start of the European Cup.
This defeat is a disappointment for Roman supporters, who were waiting for their training to find confidence in the face of a recognized adversary. Despite some offensive initiatives, the Roma team has been ineffective in decisive moments, which contributes to its current situation in the standings.
The Lille temporarily occupy second place behind Braga. Conversely, Roma is struggling to obtain positive results and can nourish regrets after this meeting, appearing in the 14th position of the classification.
Lille strikes hard from entry
This Thursday evening, during the second day of the Europa League, Lille faced a high -level Italian team in a boiling Olimpico Stadio. French players quickly took the advantage thanks to a technical achievement of Haraldsson (1-0, 6th), orienting the rest of the meeting favorably. Masters of the ball in the first half, the Lille prevented their opponents from developing their usual game.
An Ozer XXL
In the second period, Lille continued on the same dynamic, but lacked efficiency in front of the goal despite several frank occasions. For their part, the Italians had some opportunities to equalize, especially in the 80th minute when a penalty was granted after a hand of Mandi, with confirmation by the Var.
Dovbyk saw his first two attempts pushed by Ozer, and a third shot, executed by Soulé, was also arrested by the Lille goalkeeper. The XXL service of Ozer allowed Lille to preserve its advantage until the final whistle.
Building on this success, the Lille is now confidently tackled the next Ligue 1 match against Paris Saint-Germain, planned as part of the seventh day, at the Pierre Mauroy stadium. This meeting promises to be particularly disputed between the two teams.
